Randomly starting experiencing this after making zero changes to the code in question.

Receiving the following error

Could not initialize class sun.security.provider.SecureRandom$SeederHolder;lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: Could not initialize class sun.security.provider.SecureRandom$SeederHolder

No changes were made to the Lucee version, Java version, OS Version. I don’t believe any changes were made to the Tomcat version, as I use CommandBox which handles that aspect for me.

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

OS: Linux (4.14.165-133.209.amzn2.x86_64) 64bit
Java Version: 1.8.0_242 (Oracle Corporation) 64bit
Tomcat Version: WildFly / Undertow - 1.4.24.Final
Lucee Version: Lucee 5.3.2.77

Reinstall the JDK
Then specify jdk and jre for each tomcat vhost or instance you are running.
